TREATIES AND LAWS.

How Foreigners Are Sometimes Made to
Suffer by the Carelessness of Congress.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Gross injustces are
sometimes done aliens by the passage of statu-
tory laws conflicting with the provisions of
existing treaties. Foreigners pay little atten
ton to the statutory laws. They 60 ahead and
do business under treaties, because treaties are
seldom altered during their natural lifetime.
while laws are being enacted constantly. For
eigners expect the executive to protect them,
which is guaranteed by treaties, while under the
statutes only the courts can give redress. The
difference between the execution of treaty and
a statutory provision is that, in the former in
stance. the executive dispenses the law, while in
the latter tie courts do it. An effort was made,
during the closing hours of the last Congress, 10
pass law which referred to the Court of Claims
the claims of aliens growing out of ncougruties
or disparities between treaty provisions and
statutory laws. It failed in mysterious man
ner, and for reasons which none responsible will
explain. For instance, there were commercial
treaties made with certain countries many years
ago which are in full force and which
guaranteed to those countries all the advantages
granted to other nations in the form of com mercal
matters or immigration protection. Subsequent
ly statutory laws have been enacted discrimi-
mating in favor OF other countries In these same
matters. Those interested have appealed to the
State Department in vain. The President, how
ever, recommended to Congress the enactment
of law which gave the injured persons redress
in the Court of Claims. The bill passed both
branches of Congress- but was amended in one
branch in such n manner that q conference COM
mittee necessary. The conference commit
tee, for some unknown reason. struck out the
clause which gave the bill effect AS one
seemed to object to this clause, and it rec
commended most urgently by the President and
Department of State. there is something wrong
and some unpleasant developments prom
ised. Some personal feeling was evidently
given play.
1t seems that very little attention has been
paid to treaties when laws have been proposed
in Congress. The treaties have been lost sight
of, and conflicting laws have been enacted
Foreign merchants and governments, not know
ing of the enactment of these conflicting laws,
have continued to do business under the treaty
stipulations, only to wake up years afterward.
when they come to collect their accounts. to find
that the treaty was abrogated, practically, by a
law enacted by Congress, although there was no
authority for it, and then, when appealed to for
opportunity to get redress in our own courts
Congress turns deaf ear.

excitement about colored troops belong to two
of the battalions of General Anderson's COM
mand. He stated that of them had done
good service at the Newport News, Va, riot,
and that both of them were recognized Virginia
troops, and paraded oni public occasions as
such. General Anderson's visit looked to ar
raugement of details for the visit of his entire
command, which will comprise a brigade, to
the May encampment This will comprise some
twenty-six or twenty-eight companies of in
fantry. several batteries of artillery, and prob
ably one or more cavalry troops. The colored
companies will comprise part of this force. and
will be under General Andersons command in
his brigade camp. Naturally, they will not be
thrown with any other commands, and the idea
